You all know the mission, and what is at stake.
I have come to trust each of you with my life -- but I have also heard murmurs of discontent. I share your concerns.
We are trained for gaming; we would be legends, but the records are sealed. Glory in battle is not our way.
Think of our heroes; the Poster, who defeated a nation with a thread. Or the mods, who kept armies at bay with hidden facts.
These giants do not seem to give us solace here, but they are not all that we are.
Before the thread, there was the disbelievers. Before the waves, there were whiners!
Our influence stopped the qqers, but before that we held the line!
Our influence stopped the haters, but before that, we held the line!
Our influence will stop them all; in the battle today, we will hold the line!”
